Minister Juti Krairerk, Minister of Social Development and Human Security, presided over the opening ceremony of the "Home Building and Materials Expo 2021". He stated that homes are a crucial factor in developing family institutions and improving the living standards of the people. On behalf of the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security, he expressed gratitude to the Home Builder Association for being a mechanism in developing housing standards to ensure consumers receive quality homes.

            In addition to the importance of homes in family development, the housing-related businesses also contribute to driving the country's economy. The home building business is connected to various sectors, such as construction material manufacturers and financial institutions. Therefore, it is essential for the government to participate in the joint development of quality and standards, promoting sustainable growth. The government is very pleased to be one of the driving forces in this endeavor.

            I sincerely hope for collaboration between the public and private sectors in developing housing in the future. The government is ready to provide full support to ensure that the business sector can thrive, while consumers will benefit from higher standards and quality housing.

            Mr. Worawut Kanjanakul, President of the Home Builder Association (HBA), stated that the purpose of organizing the "Home Building and Materials Expo 2021" is to elevate the standards of the home building business to be recognized and to build consumer confidence. It also helps stimulate the home building market, which is part of the housing business sector. This year, the event features over 30 leading home building companies showcasing more than 1,000 house designs covering all lifestyles and price ranges from 1 to 100 million baht, along with promotions to stimulate the market as the year 2021 comes to a close. This event is a must-visit for anyone looking to own a home, as it offers everything in one place.

Additionally, the association has prepared a new "E-Book" New Home Design 2022 featuring beautiful house designs for 2022, available for easy viewing upon registration for the event. There are also many other special privileges, such as:

            • Chance to win a total of 9 baht of gold when booking a home construction during the event. *Conditions apply as set by the Home Builder Association*

            • Receive a discount coupon for home construction bookings at the event after registering.

Register between November 1-15, 2021, to receive a discount coupon worth 10,000 baht.

Register between November 16-28, 2021, to receive a discount coupon worth 5,000 baht.

            • Special promotions from home building and material companies participating in the event.

            Consumers may be concerned about the fluctuating economy, making them hesitant about investing or purchasing real estate, possibly waiting for the right timing and observing the situation. However, from another perspective, for consumers who are already considering building a home, I see this as a great opportunity because the home building companies participating in the event have selected popular house designs and attractive promotions and discounts. It can be said that booking a home construction now is very worthwhile, as all home building companies are eager to boost sales at the end of the year.

Throughout the 5 days of the event, it is expected that over 5,000 people will attend, with the target booking revenue from the event estimated to be between 2 to 2.5 billion baht.
